Things To Do When You're Bored

In the hustle-bustle of life, who gets anytime for themselves? From the moment we wake up till the time we go back to sleep, every moment in our life is set to accomplish some goal. Running in circles, you would hear people often complaining that they do not have time for anything and least of all, for their own selves. From the beginning of our understanding of life, we have been taught to keep on moving. We are told that life is a race, a competition; opportunities are few and candidates are many, that is why we need to rush, grab these limited opportunities and be a winner. We try and accumulate a lot of wealth, thinking that there would ‘one day’ come a time in our life when we can spend it to attain happiness. That ‘one day’ unfortunately never comes for a lot of us and we find ourselves, more often than not, caught in the race of life. We all are so conglomerated in the system and the ‘functionality’ of the life that we forget to take out time for ourselves and do something special, to make our self happy. In the malarkey of reasons and logic, of maintenance of life and its functions, of ‘what people will say’ or ‘what will they think’ – we forget that it is not the big things that will make us happy, it is the small and meaningless things which ends up relaxing us and making us pristinely satisfied and happy. A healthy mind and a healthy heart reside in a relaxed body and the actual relaxation comes from giving yourself sometime to stop and just be.  So next time you feel like you are ‘bored’ then think of it as an opportunity to slow down and enjoy the little things in life. Boredom is a state of mind; it means that you have got time, will and energy to do something but you do not know exactly what you should be doing. In times like these, you need some creative ideas to spend that time and energy into doing something worthwhile and refreshing; whether it means to just sit idle in the midst of nature and only observe or may be something as silly as playing with the water hose. Time well utilized into reviving yourself, will slow you down in life and make you feel like a child again; ready for the new challenges in life. This can be your ‘me time’ and you can do absolutely anything you like in this time.  If you run out of ideas of what to do when you are bored, then we are here to keep you motivated.
